Why not an AC stage that is just on the cliff by the beach like it is in New Leaf? The fighting would mainly take place on top, with the short beach part below acting as the equivalent to the back end of the Great Fox, a dangerous spot where fights usually end, then put a waterfall on the opposite side that leads to quicker deaths.

The AC stage (and the AC reps in SSB4 in general) seem to be based off of City Folk rather than New Leaf. That said I think they got a lot of backlash for some of the quirkier stages in Brawl and they're just being a bit conservative in what they reveal for the time being.

What we're seeing now kind of mirrors the Brawl reveals too, mainly characters duking it out on Battlefield floating platform-style and the Mute City-style tour stage (Delfino in Brawl, Skyloft in SSB4). A few of the 3DS stages look pretty interesting too, like the Spirit Train and Gerudo Valley.

 

[ffdgh]

Is not having both versions with the same roster the WORST mistake ever? its like what sony does with the vita in some extent... release the game on the ps3 and the vita. I know other things are going to be different but... why not making the two versions as different as posible so people have to buy both?

People complaining that one version has/lack a character they want?

 

[Chrom]

No one ever listens to the polls

Not sure what you mean by that, but I already acknowledged how the former poll is flimsy due to it not actually placing Lucina herself on there, and the second poll doesn't show Lucina being more popular than Chrom, just that they both won the two separate divisions they were placed in.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Really hope Ike stays and they give him this

design.

 

[Ezalc]

No, Awakening is Robin's story. The entire plot is about him/her; even in the climax Chrome is just support.

From what I've read the whole point of her being there is because of Chrom. So no, without him she wouldn't even be in the game.

 

[qq more]

There's actually a few coding errors in Ganondorf's moveset, as far as I remember. One is in regards to his F-Air - if I remember correctly, he was supposed to be able to cancel it, but they messed something up in the code, so he can't. :lol

The hell? Was Ganondorf like a last minute edition before shipping copies of the game?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Whoa, guys! We can't have Simon Belmont unless Captain N shows up!

If you want to play Roy's story play FE6 and then play 7 to get some more winks and nods to it.

.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it.

Question: To anyone who played FE: Shadow Dragon, is it exactly like the original?

 

[7Th]

For the record, I would rather have Robin over both Chrome and Lucina. A magician would be a lot better than yet another sword character.

From what I've read the whole point of her being there is because of Chrom. So no, without him she wouldn't even be in the game.

What? No; play the game. Robin is

Spoiler

Awakening's "chosen one", Chrome is just a support/friend.

Oh I thought you were referring to Robin in a way that meant Lucina (I'd rather not explain how I came to this conclusion.) Don't know anything about Robin.

 

[Chrom]

What about the stuff that goes on in Chapter 9/10? Is Chrom just a supporting character during that part of the game, too?

That was barely even related to the real meat of the story.

 

[Artemisia]

Why are people saying Lucina is a Marth clone? Where did we get the idea that they would play the exact same way?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Because they wear the same gear.

 

[NeonZ]

That was barely even related to the real meat of the story.

There's also the whole deal with Awakening the Falchion though, which was purely Chrom focused. The Valm chapters also sidelined Robin. I'd say that the focus is pretty split between them, with the focus of the ending

varying according to who you chose to beat Grimma.

Robin

Spoiler

being the hero/heroine is the True Ending, tho.

Either way, if they aren't taking out Ike I honestly believe Chrome's chances decrease. I don't see Sakurai being so eager to add another sword character; Robin would be more likely on move-set possibilites alone.

 

[Ezalc]

Why are people saying Lucina is a Marth clone? Where did we get the idea that they would play the exact same way?

Because of her disguise really. Plus how would she play differently then him?

 

[Chrom]

It may not be, but it sure was meant to be a distinct and notable part of the game's story that you don't just ignore.

That's like saying FE7 never put Lyn in the limelight just because the first ten chapters of the game aren't really related to the rest of the game.

 

[Artemisia]

If she was in the game, what would stop them from giving her new moves?

'Marth' from FE13 has a different fighting style from older iterations of Marth in the series, no?

 

[kunonabi]

probably

from the 3DS game.

i'd rather get kid dracula as a rep than that garbage.

 

[Ezalc]

If she was in the game, what would stop them from giving her new moves?

What new moves could they give her? How could they differentiate her from Marth and possibly Ike? What's wrong with making her an alt. costume for Marth? She'd still be technically in the game isn't that what you want? If she needs to have new moves, because the game doesn't offer enough material to separate her from Marth then what difference would it make if she was just an alt. costume?

 

[Pikma]

Am I the only one who would love to see Dillon in the roster?

 

[7Th]

I'm convinced now: Robin (you can choose male or female) for Awakening's rep; he/she wouldn't be similar to Marth or Ike at all and the game would get its first magician.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Am I the only one who would love to see Dillon in the roster?

I'm pretty sure there are other people out here, that do want him in.

 

[Ezalc]

Am I the only one who would love to see Dillon in the roster?

Golden Sun, Custom Robo and Punch-Out rep need to get in before this series gets a rep. These young whippersnapper series think they're hot stuff. Give no old series respect.

 

[flippedb]

I really need this inside my 3DS. Looks AMAZING.

 

[Christopher]

We need villains an maybe a female from each game as well...

Star fox gray fox kristal
Samus Ridley
Dixie kong k rool
Eggman

The heroes need villains to battle too not just other heroes...

 

[Ryce]

Between Villager and the rumored Mii, I don't think there's going to be a third avatar character. I'll bet on it.

 

[7Th]

There are no Mii rumors, that's just guesswork.

 

[NeonZ]

That's actually the Awakening character I hope they chose, exactly due to his/her potential magic attacks. If the Villager can be a character Avatar/Robin can be one too.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Golden Sun.

Isaac or Matthew?

 

[Artemisia]

What new moves could they give her?

Ike had moves that were made up. Where in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn does Ike use moves like Eruption (neutral special) or Quick Draw (side special)?

What's wrong with making her an alt. costume for Marth? She'd still be technically in the game isn't that what you want? If she needs to have new moves, because the game doesn't offer enough material to separate her from Marth then what difference would it make if she was just an alt. costume?

I really like Lucina and would rather her not be a costume for a character?

 

[DaBoss]

Just put in Masked Marth and we got a problem solved.

Am I the only one who would love to see Dillon in the roster?

Some people do want to see him in, but I would rather see him as an assist trophy.

 

[Codeblue]

Chrome is totally the face of the game; yep. He definitely is who people think about when Awakening is mentioned.

You're off your rocker if you think Lucina gets priority over Chrom. Of course, I'd love to be wrong, I think Lucina is a way cooler character, but Chrom is the main lord, no doubt about it. He's the only character you can't remove from your party.

 

[Anteo]

Ike had moves that were made up. Where in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn does Ike use moves like Eruption (neutral special) or Quick Draw (side special)?

What if Marth is the costume and Lucina is the main?
Or just remove Marth and have lucina

Spoiler

with Marth moveset

 

[Pikma]

I don't say that as if the series deserved to be represented, it's just that I find the actual character, Dillon, as very fitting for the series, and would love to play as him. But yeah, there obviously are a lot of other series that need to be represented first

 

[Ezalc]

Isaac or Matthew?

Either, the other one can just be an alt. costume.

Ike had moves that were made up. Where in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn does Ike use moves like Eruption (neutral special) or Quick Draw (side special)?

Nowhere, but even then his basic character allowed for him to play differently than Marth. Lucina doesn't have the same benefit seeing as she goes out of her way to try and be him.

I really like Lucina and would rather her not be a costume for a character?

Why? Does she have some special attack, even if just one, that Marth doesn't? No? Then what's the point. Why bother spending so much time and energy for a character that can easily be an alt. costume, isn't the face of the game, and has no special qualities that could make her into her own character. It's just pointless. She'd still be playable if she was an alt. costume, she'd just have Marth's moves. If was something like Hector being Ike's alt, then I'd understand since Hector's primary weapons are axes not swords. Yeah he can use them after he promotes but that's still not his main fighting style.

That's actually the Awakening character I hope they chose, exactly due to his/her potential magic attacks. If the Villager can be a character Avatar/Robin can be one too.

Too many possible generic characters in this game. We already have the Villager, Mii is a rumor and honestly I feel it would be likely (unfortunately), another one is just overkill.

 

[Senator Soufflé]

Am I the only one who would love to see Dillon in the roster?

Yeah I'm game for him but it would be nice if his 2nd game came out in Europe too.

 

[Ezalc]

Because Marth is the goddamn founder of the fucking franchise jesus christ stop with this bullshit.

I admit I like Dillon's style, the whole western thing is a type I enjoy (Cormanooooooooo). I wouldn't mind if he was playable I just rather have other characters from older franchises that I feel deserve it more, but who knows. He seems like he could be a fun addition.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Ike had moves that were made up. Where in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn does Ike use moves like Eruption (neutral special) or Quick Draw (side special)?

Quick Draw actually looks similar to one of Ike's critical hits in PoF

Eruption is definitely made up and should have been made into a sword beam instead.

 

[Artemisia]

You could make this argument against other characters that have been added in the series. Pichu and Lucas come to mind.

 

[SkyOdin]

If they are going to give Ike flame attacks, they could at least have decency to make them blue flames. That at least would be appropriate.

I also second giving him his Vanguard appearance.

 

[Codeblue]

A projectile would have done wonders for him. I hope he's back in, if only so that Sakurai can rebalance him.

 

[Village]

Hey .... super mario galaxy level.

Oh yes, goodness yes.


Also I want, ney demand a wario ware level that takes place on a street in that weird town he lives in, it was so aesthetically pleasing in Game N' Wario

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Any black Nintendo characters that could make it in?

Mr. Sandman could make it in a s a boss. And then there's Anthony Higgs. Black Miis.

 

[Ezalc]

Pichu was awful and should stay out or just an alt. costume so I don't know who you're trying to convince with that. Lucas actually had a lot of unique characteristics (in terms of moves or moveset potential) as well as being the protagonist of the most recent game in that franchise. Neither of which apply to Lucina.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Regarding character proportions, the Pokemons aren't really in proportion to each other. Charizard should be taller than 3 Squirtles put on top of each other and Ivysaur should be twice bigger than Squirtle, but their sizes were reduced to something closer to Squirtle itself. I guess it wouldn't be a size reduction as big as the one Ridley would get in comparison to the last few Metroids, but I don't remember hearing people complaining about Ridley's size in Melee's opening.





That'd be a waste. If AW gets representation, I want someone summoning army troops for most of their attacks, not using generic weapons.

That's boring to me. I'd rather see Andy or Sami using these weapons.

 

[NEO0MJ]

I don't know why people are asking for Lucina. It's Super Smash Bros., not Super Smash Sis.

Spoiler

Just kidding

You could make this argument against other characters that have been added in the series. Pichu and Lucas come to mind.

Pichu, like Ganondorf was only added in melee to fill up the roster. I doubt Sakurai will want to do that again, after all they put some effort to make clones different in brawl. And Lucas showed up because originally he was meant to show up in Melee but because his game was delayed Ness showed up again. And his fightstyle is pretty different from Ness.

Any black Nintendo characters that could make it in?

I'm trying to remember but not many come to mind, right now only Jimmy from wario ware and Anthony from Metroid.

Edit: Oh, how could I forget Sandman from Punchout? But i doubt they can do anything to make him different from Lil' Mac.

 

[ffdgh]

Uhhh...little mac's trainer, basilio, flavia.

Freaking auto correct.

 

[Karsticles]

Ganondorf is pretty much guaranteed, as is Game & Watch.

Edit: Possibly Dark Link and Dark Zelda, as with Brawl.
